Here at Nintendo Life we often attend or read news of launch events, some of them quirky and full of character. The Japanese press reception to celebrate the release of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, however, may have seized the crown for the most unusual launch party yet.

As reported by Andriasang, game journalists in Japan attended this particular event at Hooters: for those of you unfamiliar, these are a series of restaurants renowned for waitresses wearing clothes that can only be described as 'flattering' to their figure. Aside from enjoying lunch in the surroundings, the guests did also go hands on with the game and get a look at the Metal Gear themed 3DS console.

Hooters may seem like a peculiar choice of venue, but in the Japanese version of the title a real-life magazine called Hooters Japan, as well as posters from the same publication, are apparently found throughout the environments. If you don't believe us, check out the picture below.

I could have bet they focused on promoting Naked Snake when i read the header. And while their camouflage is quite striking it doesn't matter much. Who could ever want to do any harm to these three nice angels. Except for jealous women of course.

Nintendo at Hooters? Never ever not even ever going to happen in the states. I'm kind of surprised that there's even a Hooters in Japan, isn't that kind of overdressed for what their used to at conventions?

The graphics are sharp. The game play is spot on and its got some of if not the best 3d visuals ive seen to date. The only real complaint could be the frame rate at times but even that doesn't bring the game down much. Great example of what the 3ds needs going forward.

You know, my last boss used to hold our weekly meetings at Hooters until they closed down and he had to change the venue to a strip club. That's when he went from being a good boss to being an awesome one.

Lame publicity for a game, of all things. Edit: Just my opinion, & I like girls (esp. attractive ones), don't get me wrong but seriously, don't these women ever feel embarrassed that they're getting paid to be viewed as objects, instead of women?

In the U.S. Version of the game, the magazine says MGS 3D on the top (for those of you who don't have the game, they are used to distract guards). Actually, the posters mentioned in the article are in the U.S. version as well.
